About Zetaris

Zetaris is an Australian data technology company founded in 2013 by Vinay Samuel, Jason Jaesung Jun, and Michael Cimino. The firm specializes in analytical data virtualization, providing a platform that enables businesses to analyze data from disparate sources without moving it. This approach, known as a networked data platform or analytical data virtualization, speeds up the time to insight, reduces data redundancy, and provides a unified view of data across an organization.

The company's core product, the Zetaris Networked Data Platform, functions as an AI-powered modern lakehouse. It allows users to connect to, query, and transform data in real-time across various locations, including on-premises, cloud, and edge environments. Key features include a unified semantic layer for a single view of all data, automated data discovery, and an AI-generated data catalog. The platform is designed to significantly reduce the time and cost associated with data analytics projects, with reports of increasing project speed by up to six times and lowering total cost of ownership. Zetaris serves a range of industries, including healthcare, finance, telecommunications, and government, with clients such as BUPA, Nokia, and the Murdoch Children's Research Institute.

Zetaris operates on a subscription-based business model and also offers a freemium version of its software, Zetaris Air, allowing users to trial the platform. The company pursues a partner-led go-to-market strategy, collaborating with global system integrators, resellers, and technology firms like IBM, Deloitte, Microsoft, and NVIDIA. Since its inception, Zetaris has raised over $50 million in funding through several rounds. A significant Series B round in April 2022 brought in $30 million from investors including the CIA-backed In-Q-Tel, Exto Partners, and Vulpes Ventures, valuing the company at over $150 million. The company is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, and is expanding its global presence with offices in the US, UK, and Singapore.
